1/15 As promised, here is a summary of my presentation from today about “Using Your Phone for Lifelong Learning”

As a note, these slides are all hyperlinked instead of referenced and can be seen in full in the previous tweet.

2/15 We started with our objectives for today. While the topic is huge, we focused on three things that have been instrumental in my education. Twitter, podcasts, and the Human Diagnosis Project.

3/15 I argued that these tools are not only useful, but also necessary! Medical knowledge is increasing too quickly for us to keep up, and using all our technology gives us an advantage at staying up to date.

4/15 We then spent a short time becoming familiar with @hdx . The case we used needed to be brief, so we reviewed “50 year old man presents with left sided abdominal pain”

5/15 Next, we reviewed the pros and cons of podcasting with a gif of Steve Spurrier throwing his headset. I had given them some homework to do in listening to a medical education podcast and remembering a good pearl prior to my talk.

6/15 Then we reviewed my top three podcasts for learning. The focus was on medical education, so some of my other favorite medicine podcasts didn’t make the cut (but stay tuned!)

7/15 Although we had already touched on it, we brought up the usefulness of twitter after this. I had also assigned some homework because we were going to be using a lot of twitter in the last half!

8/15 I was mostly focusing on how twitter improves medical education, and this modified Bloom’s taxonomy gave me a framework to do it! Many thanks to @aoglasser @RJmdphilly for sharing! We were going to progress through these four phases together.

9/15 First, what to consume. #Tweetorials are the best and most obvious way learners can benefit by consuming #medtwitter, and I can’t mention them without talking about @tony_breu. We went through one of his together and I gave some other great #medthread follows.

10/15 Level 2: Promote- I think @aoglasser and @ETSshow are some of the best at this, so we talked about examples along with some of these tweets I pulled directly off their timelines!

11/15 Level 3: Discuss- We then moved over to @MedEdPGH to talk about some of their great case discussions, interaction with the audience and how it benefits everyone’s learning. Also, I needed to mention two of my favorite twitter chats here as well.

12/15 Finally, how do you create? We talked through how to tweet and practiced two options! Either #tipsfornewdocs or #pearls they learned from their podcasts. The benefit of live-tweeting talks and conferences was also discussed.

13/15 My conclusion briefly touched on the other many benefits of #medtwitter and podcasting, with an appendix of some of my other favorite resources that had not been mentioned yet!

14/15 Then came the questions, many were focused on professionalism. We spent a long time discussing the concept of medicine being a doctor's lounge, except with 0 confidentiality! Can some #medtwitter folks add there favorite articles on this topic here?

15/15 finally, my question to y’all is this--what did I miss?

Addendum: I'm probably going to pin this thread, so I'm adding a link to my slides below.
